Trust Lamborghini to create what is quite possibly the coolest Lego Technic model reveal video known to man. To launch a 3,696-piece, 1:8 scale model of its 819hp hybrid V12 Sian, the firm has created a scaled down reveal scene in 21st century Sant'Agata Bolognese fashion. It. Is. Epic. Give it a watch – after which we dare you not to want one.
Lego is obviously no stranger to making brilliant recreations of full-size cars, having launched the 2,573-piece Defender late last year and a Chiron the year before that. But the new Lambo Sián FKP 37 model is one of its most complex yet, with more pieces adding a greater level of detail. Not only are the car’s carbon innards all replicated, the 6.5-litre is also modelled with acute detail and the eight-speed sequential gearbox is fully functioning via a moving paddleshift.
Like each of the full-size 63 Sians, the model has scissor doors which open to reveal an intricate cockpit. Lego blocks, it would seem, take well to the job of recreating Lamborghini's angular, vivid lime-green exterior, with scaled-down alloys finished in the same shade oif gold as the proper, Aventador SVJ-beating monster. So epic is this recreation that under the bonnet, there’s a little Lego overnight bag. Completed, the whole thing is 60cm long, 25cm wide and 13cm tall.
It’s obviously got the seal of approval from Lambo boss Stefano Domenicali, who said: “[Both Lego and Lamborghini] embody the pursuit of design perfection through constant research and development, create different emotions with every interaction, and are valued by generations. Each Lamborghini super sports car can be unique thanks to our Ad Personam personalization program and the specific driving style of each owner, just as Lego bricks provide builders of all ages with endless possibilities for creation.”
Hear that? All ages. Which is why there’s no shame in wanting one. If you do, orders can be made from 1st June on Lego’s website; other retailers will offer it from 1st August.
